Eclipse Member Linda

Linda is a member of Team Eclipse. When Professor Cypress told the player to head to Cheshma Town, Linda was expecting the player and was acting like she wasn't a member of Team Eclipse, and stole the player's brick bronze necklace. However, the bridge to Route 2 was under construction, so she was forced to escape within Gale Forest. This led to a dead end, and the player caught up to Linda, eventually leading to a pokémon battle and getting the necklace back. After the incident, Linda was not seen since.

History
Eclipse Member Linda was first seen waiting for the player at the entrance to Cheshma Town. She then speaks to player, saying that this was the player's first journey and was told from player that his or her's parents were abducted from Team Eclipse. Linda suggests that the player should come to her house where they can discuss it privately. Linda then examines the Brick Bronze Necklace given by the player's parents, and then mentions that it's old and valuable, then takes off in a mad dash with the necklace. Rival Jake then notices Linda running into the Gale Forest, and after realizing what she'd done, Jake tells the player to go after her. Jake stays behind to stop Linda from leaving by staying by the entrance of Gale Forest. The player then catches up to Linda, because she was in a dead end. Linda then reveals that she is a member of Team Eclipse, and she won't give back the necklace unless the player beats her in a pokémon battle. After the player beats Linda, she gives back the necklace and says that Team Eclipse will be back for it, then leaves.

Personality
Eclipse Member Linda hides her true identity very well like Professor Cypress, and she acts like she doesn't know about the player, constantly trying to earn the friendship of the player enough for her to steal the player's necklace. After her identity is revealed she starts to act very cocky and thinks she's tougher than the player.

Cheshma Town
“Hey, over here!”

''“You look like a brand new trainer. This must be your first time traveling alone."''

''“I see… Your parents were abducted by Team Eclipse… That’s terrible! I have some information about Team Eclipse that might be valuable. Follow me to my home where we can discuss it privately.”''

''“So your parents were taken by Team Eclipse. Gosh that must be awful. I bet you must miss them… Oh, so they gave you that necklace before they were taken? Do you mind if I see it? Thanks, this necklace looks old…and valuable… Heh… thanks!”''

Gale Forest
''“Well darn, looks like you caught up to me. It’s my fault for running into this dead end. The bridge was under construction so hiding here was my only option. So you want this necklace back, huh? Well too bad, Team Eclipse doesn’t return what they earn. That’s right kid, I’m a member of Team Eclipse. The only way I’d let you have your precious brick back is if you beat me in a Pokemon battle. But let’s face it - you are just a fresh new trainer. There’s no way you can beat me!”''
